Jon Jones charged with leaving accident scene where ‘intoxicated' woman ‘lacking clothing from waist down' found
JON JONES was charged with fleeing with scene of an accident just days before announcing his retirement. Court records show the Hall of Famer was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, which caused no great bodily harm or death, on June 17. 5 5 5 But records show that the alleged incident took place in New Mexico back on February 24. The police report states that a woman was found in the front passenger seat of one of the cars involved in the incident. The woman, according to the report, was 'exhibiting signs of significant intoxication and lacking clothing from the waist down.' She is said to have told the police that Jones was the driver and ran away from the scene on foot before calling the MMA icon. A police aide stated the person on the phone, who they believed to be Jones, 'appeared to be heavily intoxicated and made statements implying his capacity to employ lethal force through third parties.' Jones is also said to have not directly identified himself to police during the conversation, in which he allegedly made 'allusions to violence'. In an interview with police, Jones claims the woman found in the car was intoxicated when she left his house earlier in the day. He claims she rang him after getting into the crash and passed the phone over to an officer who 'immediately opened the conversations with unprofessional language, which led him to doubt the legitimacy of the individual's claim.' 5 In the police report, the woman found in the car claims she drank alcohol and took mushrooms at Jones' house, with her "next recollection was being at the scene of a traffic accident.' But she remained adamant the person driving the car was Jones, who, in the police report, is said to have called the woman 13 times and sent her scores of text messages from the time of he crash until the following morning. Five Things UFC 309 Cameras Didn't Show Jones, 37, is no stranger to falling afoul of the law when it comes to driving. In 2015, he was charged with a felony hit and run after crashing into two cars - one of which was being driven by a pregnant woman - and leaving the scene on foot. Jones, who faced a litany of DUI's during his career, pled guilty to leaving the scene of a crime and served 18 months probation for the incident, which led to him being stripped of the light-heavyweight title. The bombshell news came on the same day Jones announced he wouldn't be fighting Brit Tom Aspinall in an eagerly-anticipated heayweight title unification fight and would be retiring from MMA. He wrote on X: "Today, I'm officially announcing my retirement from the UFC. "This decision comes after a lot of reflection, and I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the journey I've experienced over the years. "From the first time I stepped into the Octagon, my goal was to push the boundaries of what was possible in this sport. "Becoming the youngest UFC champion in history, defending my title against some of the best fighters in the world, and sharing unforgettable moments with fans across the globe—these are memories I'll cherish forever. "I've faced incredible highs and some tough lows, but every challenge has taught me something valuable and made me stronger, both as a fighter and as a person. "I want to thank the UFC, Dana, Hunter, Lorenzo, God, my family, coaches, teammates, and all the fans who have stood by me through every chapter. "Your unwavering support and belief in me have been my foundation. "To my fellow fighters, thank you for bringing out the best in me and for the respect we've shared inside and outside the cage. "As I close this chapter of my life, I look forward to new opportunities and challenges ahead. " MMA will always be a part of who I am. "And I'm excited to see how I can continue to contribute to the sport and inspire others in new ways. "Thank you all for being part of this incredible journey with me. The best is yet to come." 5

Jun. 21—JAMESTOWN — An 18-year-old Bismarck man who led law enforcement on a pursuit that started on Interstate 94 and ended in a two-vehicle crash in Jamestown was sentenced recently in Southeast District Court in Jamestown. Jamie Ray Barnes pleaded guilty to fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, reckless endangerment and theft of property, Class C felonies that were later deemed misdemeanors, and aggravated reckless driving, a Class A misdemeanor. Charges of criminal vehicular injury, persons under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any other drugs or substances not to operate a vehicle, prohibited acts-more than a half ounce of marijuana and driving while license was suspended or revoked were dismissed in exchange for guilty pleas to the other charges. Barnes was accused of taking a vehicle valued between $1,000 and $10,000, failing or refusing to bring the vehicle he was driving to a stop or fleeing or attempting to elude when a pursuing police vehicle or peace officer gave a visual or audible signal to bring the vehicle to a stop, recklessly creating a substantial risk of serious bodily injury or death to another and driving a vehicle recklessly in disregard of the rights or safety of others on May 10. Judge Troy LeFevre sentenced Barnes to 210 days in the Stutsman County Correctional Center with credit for 31 days served. LeFevre placed Barnes on 24 months supervised probation and ordered him to submit to fingerprints. LeFevre also ordered Barnes to pay a $35 indigent defense application fee and a $25 victim-witness fee. The court retains jurisdiction on restitution for 60 days. Barnes is eligible for the Cooperative Treatment Release program. Barnes fled from a North Dakota Highway Patrol trooper, who was responding to a report of reckless driving, on May 10 about a mile west of Eldridge on I-94, according to Sgt. Nathaniel King with the North Dakota Highway Patrol. The vehicle Barnes was driving entered Jamestown at exit 257, and the trooper discontinued the pursuit. The vehicle was later located by a Stutsman County Sheriff's Office deputy and a Jamestown police officer as it approached the intersection of 17th Street Southwest and U.S. Highway 281 where the vehicle drove through a red light and almost struck another motorist, according to Maj. Justin Blinsky, assistant chief of police for the Jamestown Police Department. Barnes continued to flee throughout parts of southeast Jamestown before he disregarded a red light and struck a 2021 GMC Sierra pickup, driven by a 30-year-old Jamestown man, traveling southbound through the intersection, Blinsky said. A Class C felony is punishable by five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. A Class A misdemeanor is punishable by 360 days in prison and a $3,000 fine.

Michigan State Police helicopter tracks suspects who fled after attempted traffic stop
A Michigan State Police patrol helicopter crew helped officers track a fleeing motorist Wednesday night on Interstate 96 in Metro Detroit. A road patrol officer attempted a traffic stop about 10 p.m. on westbound I-96 near Outer Drive, but the driver sped off. The state police helicopter named Trooper 2 happened to be in the area and its air crew followed the fleeing vehicle, noticing it stop on Stout Street just south of Acacia in the city of Detroit. The air crew then reported three people running out of the stopped car, all were headed eastbound. The driver, identified as a 30-year-old Detroit man, was later arrested in an apartment complex near where the vehicle was abandoned. He was lodged at the Detroit Detention Center, pending review. "We are fortunate this suspect did not hurt anyone in his attempt to run from troopers," Michigan State Police F/Lt. Mike Shaw said. While this incident happened in the city of Detroit, the prosecutor for nearby Macomb County announced just this week a stricter prosecution policy on fleeing and eluding charges. Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said there has been a noticeable increase in such incidents in his community during the past several years, including ones that resulted in serious injury or fatal crashes.
